Some Quotations
One strength of the communist system of the East is that it has some of the character of a religion and inspires the emotions of a religion.
Albert Einstein
Be a yardstick of quality. Some people aren't used to an environment where excellence is expected.
Steve Jobs
Japan's very interesting. Some people think it copies things. I don't think that anymore. I think what they do is reinvent things. They will get something that's already been invented and study it until they thoroughly understand it. In some cases, they understand it better than the original inventor.
Steve Jobs
I'm an optimist in the sense that I believe humans are noble and honorable, and some of them are really smart. I have a very optimistic view of individuals.
Steve Jobs
Design is a funny word. Some people think design means how it looks. But of course, if you dig deeper, it's really how it works.
Steve Jobs
Do the right thing. It will gratify some people and astonish the rest.
Mark Twain
Always do right. This will gratify some people and astonish the rest.
Mark Twain
Let us make a special effort to stop communicating with each other, so we can have some conversation.
Mark Twain
Everyone has his day and some days last longer than others.
Winston Churchill
In war as in life, it is often necessary when some cherished scheme has failed, to take up the best alternative open, and if so, it is folly not to work for it with all your might.
Winston Churchill
